XSkin.au3... Skin your GUI

Valuater · October 2, 2006

UPDATE

Oct. 2, 2006

XSkin.au3 v1.3.0

Added - User define the "arc" of the guicorners

$guiCorners = 25 ; 0 = no rounded corners, ( optional, default is rounded with "arc" of 25)

Fix - now passes Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Fix - All message boxes follow the default of the original skins corners and header

Nice work!

If I build an application with Koda GUI designer, how to skin it?

Nice work!

Normally you will want to "enlarge" the gui height and width so your program does not appear on the designed edges...

secondly start here.....

then look through the "very clear" basic examples here

OK. Thanks!

This project seems really great! Congratulations!!

I think to use Koda with XSkin, I have to design the GUI and then use some text editor to replace the calls to GUI functions with Xskin GUI functions.

But it would be very good if Koda added support for Xskin at design time! :lmao:

AutoIt is becoming powerful tool even for complete programs. :ph34r:

Another question: How to set the title bar moveable so the window can be moved like a not-skinned window?

Yes I did!

I also noticed it was only works for image 1, maybe it should be extended to image 0 and 2 also?

Valuater · October 3, 2006

it could work for 0, however not in the area of 2

it actually works 2/3 of the left 1

if i let it go any further or onto 2, the icon buttons ( close/min) will not function

I have successfully implemented xskin into my GUI, and it is sweet. However, after I compile the .au3 file into an .exe, it still require the xSkin folder do be in the same directory as the .exe, is there a way to make it so you can copy the .exe anywhere you want and still be able to use Xskin images?

Thanks

big_daddy · October 6, 2006

@dufran3 - Use FileInstall() to install the files into a temp directory, then specify that directory as your skin folder.

I realize you would be considered a "newbie" which would "normally" lower the value of your respose "slightly"

........ However, I see this...

Hi,

Is there a way to use menu with xskin or will it be ?

Nevertheless its good tx :lmao:

Gigglestick · October 12, 2006

I'm just curious if animated GIFs, AVIs, or Flash content works with this, or if anyone would be interested in it. It might be kind of cool to have small animations for the buttons or border.

Thats a great idea....

I am currently working on an XSkin "Plugin" ( additional include )

maybe you could create that idea as another Plugin

???

the plugins would be an optional include to the original Xskin.au3
